Did Spring 1942 introduce defenseless transports?
AA50
Spring 1942 was basically A&A Revised played with AA50 rules. 1 or 2 Battleships and/or Destroyers were changed to the new Cruiser piece, but otherwise the set up was identical.
Can a destroyer and a transport ignore an enemy sub sitting on the coast when doing an amphib assault?
Thanks,
Yes
Even a lone transport can
In AA50, enemy subs and transports can be completely ignored, as long as you don’t engage any of them.
(If you attack a sub/transport combo with a fighter and also try to land there amphibiously, the sub can sink your transport. You can’t pick and choose what to ignore within a single zone)
